Alrik was terrified at just seeing the bike — afraid it was going to zoom off on its own and crush him? I don't know — and not sure about the bike helmet.

We got him on the WeeRide seat but had to adjust the straps down down down from when Mikko last rode in it at about age three. As you can see, Alrik was pretty freaked out just sitting there, and I thought this was going to be a disaster.

We took off for a little glide, Alrik clutching onto my shirt with one hand and the bike with the other. And then … he started laughing. Phew!

Mikko's already a biking superstar (with his trusty training wheels).

We were supposedly riding to someplace, but Mikko said,
"Can't we keep going? I just love bike riding so much." So we did!

What a cool attachment for a bike! I have never seen that before. That is so much better than having your toddler in a seat behind you or towed behind you in a cart. Looks like you all had a wonderful ride!

@Run DMT: That's what I love about it, too! He's right up front seeing the action, and I'm not nervous about what's going on behind me. And since Alrik was scared at first, I loved that I could show him my arms were right there around him. :) Mikko and I always had many a chat on our bike rides with that seat about what cars were going by and how many dogs we saw.
